The Miles That Matter Foundation Mission is to educate and promote health and fitness in our communities with an emphasis on enriching every life we touch. This means we will care, commit and connect, hoping to add something positive to each life we encounter, expecting nothing in return.

Dick joined Miles That Matter in 2008, trained for and completed his first marathon. He did it to get fit and he did it for his brother Walt, who lost his battle with Melanoma. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.

We think it is safe to say tha tDick caught the marathon bug, as he will be competing in his 6th marathon this spring (his 4th Flying Pig).

Dick has raised close to $30,000 for Melanoma Know More.

Dick has a true passion and goal to help Melanoma Know More reduce the impact of melanoma through awareness, education, support of medical research and assistance to persons affected by melanoma.

Dick’s Philosophy
Training with an organization like MTM, has allowed me to become motivated by a goal that has deep meaning, a dream that needs completion and pure love that needs expressing. It truly is how one should live their life.
